|  | Niamh Lowney & Shreya Ahluwalia -2nd Year with their project 'Does cerebral dominance affect your perception?' won 1st Prize in Behavioural Sciences - Junior Section
The students hypothesis was that optical illusions could be used to determine if a person was right brained or left brained. They tested the school population for cerebral dominance using a set of questions giving yes/no responses for left or right brained tendencies. They then showed the same people optical illusions that had either/or responses. They found one optical illusion showing either an old lady or a young lady that gave significant results. |
